I am now based here in Caracas, supposedly earning dollars and all. But am I happy? NO - for I am far away from my Mom, my Brother and his family, my friends, my relatives, and my Cat!!! It is over a week since I arrived here, at times I take delight with the new experiences, the new sights but also there are the moments of loneliness, the moments of despair. Yet, I know there would be other officemates who are very envious of my being here, earning dollar allowances.
At times of being sad, I just think of learning spanish and count how much I would be able to earn and save. How much I can even spend.
Looking back, everything have been a roller coaster ride beginning with the confirmation that my father did indeed have a mistress - CHILI... for 20 years!!!!
I motivate myself that I would earn money, that I would wait, bid my time... eventually my family would have justice, Chili and her horrible, evil daughters would have their doom.

About Me
- Gilberto Reyes
- Am now working in a foreign land. From Day 1, I have been warned against the locals - so I have no social life except here on the net. Not to mention the stress of work thus blogging is an escape and documentation... I would be able to minimize the homesickness and get in touch with my family, relatives, and friends. Yes, I have created previous logs.. time will tell of that aspect

I honestly do not know when I would be back in the Philippines. My tour of duty is officially for six years, so theoretically I should be here in Caracas until 2013.
The laws of the land are not updated. The children of philandering parents have no right to bring them to the courts, but am I not an aggrieved party as well?
Sometimes, people would point out other examples - of children being able to adjust to their situation. In my case, I am 41 - I feel I have been deceived, defrauded for two decades. How do I heal? How do we get justice?
No, I do not find your posting or comment invasive. I surely welcome it. Things happen for a reason I always say to myself.
